AEIS
BIM Source / IFC Viewer
BIM Source Review
Inspect IFC geometry, properties, validation state, and source assumptions in one browser workspace so BIM-driven design automation starts from an understood, engineer-selected source.
- Best for
- BIM coordinators and engineers reviewing source models before design automation.
- Outcome
- Inspectable BIM source context and validation findings before any downstream check, analysis, or delivery run.
- Runs in
- Browser workspace - cloud-ready
- Requirements
- Runs in the AEIS web workspace with an IFC source selected by the engineer.
Evidence surface
Inspect the working evidence.
Review the product capture, then use the checklist for what a qualified engineer can verify before handoff.
- Model geometry inspection
- IFC attributes and properties
- Validation context before automation
- Engineer-selected source boundary
The viewer supports inspection and validation; source approval and engineering interpretation remain with the project team.
Product details
Inputs, steps, and deliverables.
Review BIM geometry, properties, and validation findings before design automation starts.
Inputs
- IFC model selected by the engineer
- Geometry and property data from the source
- Project validation criteria
- Element and storey context for inspection
Steps
- Load the engineer-selected IFC source
- Inspect geometry, storeys, and attributes
- Review validation findings against project criteria
- Confirm source readiness for downstream products
Outputs
- Inspectable model context and views
- Element and property review state
- Validation findings for the selected source
- Shared source context for downstream products
Value and use
Why teams use BIM Source Review.
What this product is for in practice, and the engineering situations teams bring into AEIS first.
Value
- See geometry and properties before automation begins
- Surface validation findings early, not after a failed run
- Keep the BIM source as the shared starting record
Use cases
- Validate an IFC export before foundation or superstructure build
- Confirm element properties and storey structure for design products
- Brief a design lead on source readiness before connected analysis delivery
FAQ
Before you evaluate this product.
Common questions about BIM Source Review, execution requirements, and engineer responsibility.
Does the IFC Viewer redesign the model?
No. It supports inspection and validation of the selected IFC source. Source approval and engineering interpretation stay with the project team.
Where does the viewer run?
In the AEIS browser workspace with an IFC source selected by the engineer. No Windows worker is required for inspection alone.
How does this connect to other AEIS products?
Browser Design and Connected Delivery products require an understood BIM source. IFC Viewer provides the inspection step before those products consume the same source context.
